Double Lens Cap Preorder From OpTech For E-Mount

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 28, 2016

FOPTech
I’m careful about keeping my equipment clean and OP/Tech’s new double lens mount cap system seems like it might help photographers protect their valuable glass. The built in protective O ring should provide a good seal to keep dust/moisture out of your lens mount better than a stock cap and the double sided design could help with switching between lenses quickly if you keep the inside of your bag very clean. The OP/Tech double sided lens mount is currently available for preorder at B&H Photo.

Poised to deliver creative soft focus imagery, the Momo 100 from Yasuhara is a 28mm f/6.4 lens designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, and provides a 42mm equivalent focal length. Characterized by its simple doublet optical design, this lens relies on spherical aberration to produce a soft and glowing image quality, while still delivering in-focus results, for an ethereal look. Softness can be adjusted by manually adjusting the aperture setting, and manual focus control is also available for working with subjects as close as 11.8″ away. Additionally, this lens is also characterized by its slim, pancake profile that measures just over 1″ long for portability and a sleek overall form factor.

  • This 28mm f/6.4 prime lens is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, and provides a 42mm equivalent focal length.
  • A dedicated soft focus lens, this optic employs spherical aberration in order to produce a glowing, soft image quality while retaining focus. The amount of softness can be controlled by varying the aperture setting as well as balancing the depth of field to subject/focus distance ratio.
  • Measuring just over 1″ in length, this slim lens has a pancake profile that makes it ideal for creative travel or everyday shooting.
  • No electrical contacts are featured in the mount design, and this lens requires manual focus and exposure control.

ORCA Carry-On Wheeled Suitcase Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 25, 2016

_DSC4245
I have been doing a lot of traveling lately for the sites and personal reasons, so quality carry-on baggage for my equipment has become a priority. I like to use this kind of equipment for a while before I give an opinion about it, but I was recently sent the ORCA Carry-On Wheeled Suitcase from B&H to see if it could fill my needs and quickly decided that it was worth sharing.

_DSC4253
The ORCA is very well made and thought out in many respects. The sides are rigid, but nicely padded. There are plenty of places to quickly grab the bag from comfortably. Even the zippers have little ropes attached to them with rubberized plastic to keep them open, making them easy to grab and readily available to open the bag so that you can take your laptop out for security. All of the grab points are very functional. Read More »
